Pozole Restaurant

1044 Greenwood Ave. NE
Atlanta, GA. 30306

Situated at Virginia Highlands in Atlanta, this haven for Mexican food brings a kick.  Its casual scene quickly turns into a party as the tequila and happy hour(s) extend through the night.  They are particularly known for their fifteen or so different margaritas at hand, but when I visit, only one is on my mind....the Jalapeno Margarita.  Made with real jalapeno juice, it encompasses all that you look for in an award winning margarita with some heat; although, if you're going to have more than just two or three, you'd better bring the Pepcid AC.

The food at Pozole is what you would expect from a latino nuevo restaurant, good...but nothing that will blow your mind, albeit I have only tried the tacos (pork, beef, chicken, and Tilapia).  Here is your warning though, ALL TACOS COME IN CORN TORTILLAS!  I know it may be more "authentic", but I can't help it, flour tortillas taste superior.

For me, Pozole Restaurant is a place to dine for a late dinner and drinks with a group before going out somewhere else in the Highlands (Blind Willie's for live blues).  It is fun and they have specials most nights of the week.  If you don't feel like walking around the Highlands, stay at Pozole, they are open until 2:30am and I'm sure you can keep busy trying to tackle the 50+ tequilas...bottoms up!
